Rigth now at this time in my life it is bow only!Thats the way I prefer it.I do not care for the loud boom of a gun!!

Bow only for deer!

[Mike Gibbs]

I love guns, all kinds of guns, but I don't hunt with 'em.  I suppose I would if I needed meat.

[wtpops]

Bow only. Ive never hunted with a fire arm in my life, nothing against it just never have.

[Bowspirit]

My compound, rifle, and shotgun all have one thing in common...they've only been used for one season. Couldn't bring myself to kill deer with them. Nothing against them, I just find joy in using my longbows...

I much prefer to hunt with one of my bows, And the hernia surgery Scheduled for Dec 2 takes this years gun season off the table.

Custom, hand made double guns and longbows float my boat. Big bore in rifles and small bore in shotguns, like my bows they are works of art. Haven't killed or hunted anything with a rifle in more then a few years but the birds sure take a beating.

Its bow only for me with deer but i'm a big waterfowl hunter as well so I break out the benelli for that ha

[Big Ed]

I got shot on Nov 28,1988 while gun hunting, and have bowhunted only ever since.

[reddogge]

I like em all and hunt with them all.  I collect guns as well as bows.  No big deal.

By the way, guns make excellent trading fodder for bows as gun prices are sky high now.

[elknutz]

Bow only except for birds and an occasional skunk for the last 20 years.  I will walk along with the kids when they want to rifle hunt.

[BOWMARKS]

I wiil stick with the bow till I can't shoot a leagle poundage. Been bow only for last 25 years and went TRADITIONAL 7 years ago should have switched sooner!!

[BCWV]

Bow only. We can use a bow in modern firearm  and muzzle loading seasons. I use my bow for turkey and small game too. I get to shoot alot and don't have to clean many rabbits and squirrels.

[Mechslasher]

i lived to shoot and hunt with rifles in my teens and 20's.  i went through pounds of powder and thousands of rounds to make a 500 yard shot on a deer.  spent thousands of dollars customizing rifles and tricking them out.  i made two one shot kills nov. 1996 in kerrville, tx.  one shot was 500 and the other 475 yards.  haven't shot a center shot rifle since.  kinda sad when i think about it.  turned to compounds and did the same thing.  now i'm 99% trad/primitive archery.  i have a flintlock i hunt with on occasion.  killed a five pointer with it last weekend so i've cleaned it and put it up for the season.
